You’re right Bernie! But how are you, I, or anyone else going to stop him? I mean, somebody’s gotta do it…

“Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” “Israeli and US support”

My nose started bleeding, trying to unify these concepts in my mind. Its like the “Bird and Small Mammal Support Foundation”, run by house cats.

I’m sorry, let’s all be quiet about the murders happening at peaceful protests; the man who is attempting to install himself as god-king of the western world; the knee that this god-king is bending to Russia; and all the human rights violations occurring daily across the country so that you can keep living in your whack country in peace.

A person doesn’t need to have an answer to a systemic clusterfuck in order to call it out, and calling it out reminds us that none of this is normal. If we stop calling the US whack, then people start accepting the whack-ness as the new normal.

I read the comic as metaphorical for the state of the world in general, not a literal attack on low-income, undereducated individuals.

We fought the nazis less than 100 years ago. We lost loved ones in the fight against tyranny. We brought that victory, and that trauma, home with us. But in the decades since, the number of people who lived and fought in those times is dwindling. All that we are left with today are the symbols of that time. Yes, there are plenty of us that know the history, that have heard the stories. But there are also plenty of us that have only seen the sleek, manicured projection of the ‘bad guys from Indiana Jones’ through the Hollywood lens. And some of that trauma has been passed down too.

I feel like this comic is more about forgetting our own history.

The editors are right. Why would I want a paragraph of garbage at the top of the page that is clearly labeled “unverified”, that I then have to scroll past to find the information that people already tell me is non-credible because it’s not explicitly from a published journal.

I fucking hate when Google does it, but I don’t donate to Google. If Wikipedia starts making it harder to access the information they host, I’m not going to support that either.

Get this conspiracy shit outta here. Looks like the guys about to tell me that there’s a Walmart under the pyramids.

Christine married into the family, inherited her wealth when her spouse passed, and is not involved in the running of Walmart. She has previously donated to anti-trump groups.

Could she be doing more with her billions? Definitely. Is she the head of a corporate conspiracy to oppress the American people by funding a single ad in one newspaper? Highly unlikely.

As if the next step in the plan isn’t reinstating “state’s rights”…

If the US Government condemns it, then you’re moving in the right direction.

You just got your answer: Because it is agreed that it helps all of us.

Don’t want to pay taxes? Stop drinking tap water. Don’t turn on your lights. Stop driving on the roads. Don’t seek any medical care ever. Don’t catch the bus. Don’t even look at a public park.

If everybody pays a fraction of their income, these things can be funded. If we all went it alone, do you have the money or skills to maintain the roads you drive on? If you don’t, do you think the other guy is going to do it for free? Or cheap, knowing that he has skills you don’t?

EDIT: it can be argued about the proper use of tax funds in any particular country, eg an excessive ‘defence’ budget in the US.

It’s the same complaint. If I think someone is lying to me and they later admit to lying, my feelings aren’t different on the matter. They are justified. The fight for human rights doesn’t happen by just accepting when people publicly revoke their support for you.

Can’t wait til the year 2500 when we can stop getting variations on this fact.

These are my feelings too. I loved the trilogy when each came out, and return to them at least once a year. But nice graphics aren’t enough to make me support Konami.
